Bee Gees singer and co-founder Robin Gibb, died at the age of 62 on Sunday evening, May 20, after losing his battle on colon and liver cancer.
Gibb, who had undergone intestinal surgery, notched up dozens of hits with brothers Maurice, his twin, and Barry - as performers and writers - and sold more than 200 million records.
Gibb has had a history of health problems stemming from a 2010 liver and colon cancer diagnosis. Though Gibb had recovered from his first bout with the disease,another tumor recently surfaced in conjunction with pneumonia, leaving him in a coma at a London hospital in mid-April. Gibb's wife Dwina and brother Barry stayed by his side, singing to the ailing star in an effort for him to regain consciousness.
Gibb did awaken from his coma in late April and was able to speak with his family members, though he was still reliant on an oxygen mask and intravenous feeding.
According to Dr. Andrew Thillainayagam, Gibb's doctor, Robin's wife Dwina and son, Robin-John, his son Spencer and daughter Melissa have been at his bedside every day, talking to him and playing his favorite music to him. They have been tireless in their determination never to give up on him.
The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.
